Three weeks on the trail.
Left the Moatsville United Methodist Church this morning with Grafton on my mind. I somehow thought if I walked fast enough I could walk 20 miles and make it to the post office before they closed. I'm a day behind schedule and was supposed to pick up my resupply box on Friday.
So I hurried up and down hills, past farm after farm. Until I made it to Tygart Lake State Park. I phoned my momma to ask what time the post office closed. Turns out it closes at 10am not 1pm as I thought. At this point it was too late. I would have to stay in Grafton until Monday. So I slowed down, and enjoyed the views of Tygart Lake.
From here it was a short walk to Grafton, I passed a couple of guys my age hanging out on their porch. They looked at me strange at first but after we talked about what I was doing, they thought it was the coolest thing ever.
Gonna have to take a zero day tomorrow. Hopefully I can wash my clothes, they smell so bad. So does Brown.
Today marks three weeks on the trail. I feel positive about my journey and look forward to warmer weather and flatter land.
Today's food craving: strawberry lemonade, conch fritters, something from Angelico's.
Thank you readers.

The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
Away from all the fears
And all the faults you've left behind"
